Here are a few trivia questions that apply to a player's time with the Oilers only. The point here is not to look this up but see if you can get as much as possible correct without doing so.

1) Rank the following players in terms of points as an Oiler:

Sam Gagner, Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, RNH, Doug Weight, Ales Hemsky, Charlie Huddy, Craig MacTavish, Esa Tikkanen, Kevin Lowe


2) In terms of the percentage of their points that were achieved on the pp rank these players from highest to lowest:

Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, RNH, Doug Weight, Ales Hemsky, Craig Simpson, Ryan Smyth, Taylor Hall, Jason Arnott




3) Which Oiler with at least 50 games played had the greatest TOI/gp? Bonus Quesstion: Which of the following had the highest TOI/gp: Darnell Nurse, Eric Brewer, Tom Gilbert?


4) Rank these players in terms of the number of GWG's as an Oiler:

Shawn Horcoff, Kelly Buchberger, Craig MacTavish, RNH, Esa Tikkanen, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ales Hemsky


5) Rank these players in terms of the number of GW points as an Oiler:

Shawn Horcoff, Kelly Buchberger, Craig MacTavish, RNH, Esa Tikkanen, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ales Hemsky


6) Hits have only been recorded since 2005-2006. It's a dubious stat but nonetheless rank these players in terms of total hits as an Oiler:

Raffi Torres, Dustin Penner, Taylor Hall, Jessie Puljujarvi, Patrick Maroon, JJ Khaira





7) In each pair pick the player with the highest pts/gp as an Oiler:

a) Bernie Nichols, Doug Weight
b) Ken Linseman, Taylor Hall
c) Zach Hynman, Kent Nilsson
d) RNH, Jordan Eberle
e) David Perron, Tyson Barrie
f) Jimmy Carson, Mark Messier

8) In each pair pick the player with the highest g/gp as an Oiler:

a) Connor McDavid, Jimmy Carson
b) Leon Draisaitl, Mark Messier
c) Evander Kane, Ryan Smyth
d) Ales Hemsky, Dave Lumley
e) Klim Kostin, Sam Gagner
f) Zach Hyman, Paul Coffey

9) In each pair pick the player with the highest a/gp as an Oiler:​

a) Connor McDavid, Paul Coffey
b) Leon Draisaitl, Doug Weight
c) Ales Hemsky, Tyson Barrie
d) Zach Hyman, Jordan Eberle
e) Ken Linseman, Glenn Anderson
f) Esa Tikkanen, Jason Arnott

Great set of questions @Fourier to make one think hard, set aside recency (and non recent) biases and the fluffy clouds of wonderyears, to try to rank players in these categories where they actually are.

Now that I have given my wild ass guesses to the world, I’m off to Hockey Reference to confirm how humiliated I am going to be!

Thanks for doing this.

I tried to post the answers as spoilers but that did not seem to work.

QuantHockey might be a quicker resource.

I think some of the answers will surprise people.
